My husband thinks breastfeeding women should be more classy

[marshmallowburn]

He thinks if you are feeding, do not do it in the centre of a food court , try to go to the edges. Choose your seat around the fringe. Preferably near a potted plant. Choose to be discreet. Do not make a spectacle of yourself ( in Parliament),
In a restaurant, don't sit in the middle.
Women should show more discretion and decorum.

I agree with your husband. People don't seem to do discreet anymore.

Men are full of opinions on what women should do, maybe they should focus more on their own shit show of a sex.

As a breastfeeding mum your husband is a twat 👍

This!!!!

No-one cares what your husband thinks.

This.

I agree. Bye all

Your husband is a dick.

What a misogynistic piece of shit. I'd be whipping a boob out, uncovered, and make a whole big meal of it, just to piss him and others like him off.
HTH

The word "decorum" reminds me of covering the legs of grand pianos because they were too sexy.

Don't you miss the good old days when breastfeeding women with their babies were neither seen nor heard?

So you walk along the pavement with no bra and your top tucked under your chin? There is no need to effectively be topless to feed a baby. She was deliberately naked from neck to navel, her bra didn't mysteriously disappear, her t shirt didn't jump up under her chin.

Has anyone ever told you about nursing bras?

Why is he obsessed with breastfeeding women. I am not sure why he thinks it's any of his business . . .

Aw that's cute, he thinks someone might actually care about his opinion.

I breast fed both my children and agree a mother has the rights to feed her baby wherever she choose.
However, when feeding I took into consideration the potential feelings and views of those around me. Personally I would not intentionally want to embarrass or cause offence to others. Therefore, I was discreet, choosing a quiet corner, keeping my back to the main route of footfall. You can get feeding capes these days but in my day I used a light weight baby shawl or muslin wrap.
It doesn’t hurt anyone to be a little more considerate of those around them when feeding baby.

I hope you told him to f^ck off!

It's not as though anyone can see much boob anyway, what between baby and jumper/shirt, so is he staring? Or is it just knowing what is happening that disgusts him?

Doubtless if he manages to force women o the fries, he'll then expect them to go into the toilet, like in the Good Old Days of public breastfeeding.

You need to get out a bit and see how people breast feed in other countries. I have always grown up around people just taking the boob out, no cover, nothing and just feed. Nobody even care, everyone just gets on with it. I don't understand why people are so fixated on breast feeding in this country.

That odd because I find elderly people give me the absolute heave, with their wrinkles, grey hair and weird way of waking . I wonder why people like your mum aren’t more discreet - there’s no need for them to hang around coffees shops or shopping centres where people can see them. Why can’t they just stay at home, drink coffee and shop online rather than displaying themselves in public, flaunting their ugly faces . I’ve even seen some in restaurants where people are trying to eat - gross!! 🤮

Yes I had some when I was breastfeeding. The woman who I saw walking along a pavement by a river didn't wear one and she pulled her t shirt up under her chin to from the front she was topless from neck to navel. You couldn't help but see her, you can't exactly close your eyes walking by a river on a narrow pavement.

She'd have looked a hell of a lot more comfortable with a nursing bra on.

It's great you fed how you wanted.

Personally I liked to wear a giant inflatable breast costume and squirt milk randomly at passersby. We're all different and that's what makes the world go round.

I’ve been in a cafe where there were a group of women breast feeding. It didn’t put me off my food , or anyone else for that matter. They managed to breastfeed with nothing on show, but you knew they were feeding. I know shocking ! These women were able to breastfeed comfortably without showing boob.
Classy imo.

Exactly, it is perfectly possible. I fed all 4 of mine never had anyone comment, give me a look but I didn't choose to make an exhibition of it.

I think your husband should be more classy and keep his misogynistic opinions to himself.

”Preferably near a potted plant” gave me the laugh I needed today.
